<br />Note. The address entered on lines 3 and 4 is
<br />the address the IRS will use for all written
<br />communications regarding the processing of
<br />this return, including any notices. By
<br />authorizing a person other than an authorized

<br />make any entries in this box..
<br />Part II —Description of Obligations
<br />Check the appropriate box designating this as
<br />a return on a single issue basis or a
<br />consolidated return basis.
<br />Line 8a. The issue price of obligations is
<br />generally determined under Regulations
<br />section 1.148-1(b). Thus, when issued for
<br />cash, the issue price is the price at which a
<br />substantial amount of the obligations are sold
<br />to the public. To determine the issue price of
<br />an obligation issued for property, see sections
<br />1273 and 1274 and the related regulations.
<br />Line 8b. For a single issue, enter the date of
<br />issue (for example, 03/15/2010 for a single
<br />issue issued on March 15, 2010), generally
<br />the date on which the issuer physically
<br />exchanges the bonds that are part of the
<br />issue for the underwriter's (or other
<br />purchaser's) funds; for a lease or installment
<br />sale, enter the date interest starts to accrue.
<br />For issues reported on a consolidated basis,
<br />enter the first day of the calendar year during
<br />which the obligations were issued (for
<br />example, for calendar year 2010, enter
<br />01 /01 /2010).
<br />Lines 9a through 9h. Complete this section if
<br />property other than cash is exchanged for the
<br />obligation, for example, acquiring a police car,
<br />a fire truck, or telephone equipment through a
<br />series of monthly payments. (This type of
<br />obligation is sometimes referred to as a
<br />"municipal lease,") Also complete this section
<br />if real property is directly acquired in
<br />exchange for an obligation to make periodic
<br />payments of interest and principal.
<br />Do not complete lines 9a through 9d if the
<br />proceeds of an obligation are received in the
<br />form of cash even if the term "lease" is used
<br />in the title of the issue. For lines 9a through
<br />9d, enter the amount on the appropriate line
<br />that represents a lease or installment
<br />purchase. For line 9d, enter the type of item
<br />that is leased. For lines 9e through 9h, enter
<br />the amount on the appropriate line that
<br />represents a bank loan. For line 9h, enter the
<br />type of bank loan..
<br />Lines 9i and 9j. For line 9i, enter the amount
<br />of the proceeds that will be used to pay
<br />principal, interest, or call premium on any
<br />other issue of bonds, including proceeds that
<br />will be used to fund an escrow account for
<br />this' purpose. Several lines may apply to a
<br />particular obligation. For example, report on
<br />lines 9i and 9j obligations used to refund prior
<br />issues which represent loans from the
<br />proceeds of another tax-exempt obligation.
<br />Line 9k. Enter on line 9k the amount on line
<br />8a that does not represent an obligation
<br />described on lines 9a through 9j.
<br />Line 10. Check this box if the issuer has
<br />designated any issue as a "small issuer
<br />exception" under section 265(b)(3)(B)(i)(111).
<br />Line 11. Check this box if the issue is a
<br />construction issue and an irrevocable election
<br />to pay a penalty in lieu of arbitrage rebate has
<br />been made on or before the date the bonds
<br />were issued. The penalty is payable with a
<br />Form 8038-T for each 6-month period after
<br />the date the bonds are issued. Do not make
<br />any payment of penalty in lieu of rebate with
<br />Form 8038-GC. See Rev. Proc. 92-22,
<br />1992-1 C.B. 736, for rules regarding the
<br />"election document."
<br />Line 12. Enter the name of the vendor or bank
<br />who is a party to the installment purchase
<br />agreement, loan, or financial lease. If there
<br />are multiple vendors or banks, the issuer
<br />should attach a schedule.
<br />Line 13. Enter the employer identification
<br />number of the vendor or bank who is a party
<br />to the installment purchase agreement, loan,
<br />or financial lease. If there are multiple vendors
<br />or banks, the issuer should attach a schedule.

<br />An authorized representative of the issuer
<br />must sign Form 8038-GC and any applicable
<br />certification. Also print the name and title of
<br />the person signing Form 8038-GC. The
<br />authorized representative of the issuer signing
<br />this form must have the authority to consent
<br />to the disclosure of the issuer's return
<br />information, as necessary to process this
<br />return, to the person(s) that has been
<br />designated in this form.
<br />Note. If the issuer authorizes in line 6 the IRS
<br />to communicate with a person other than an
<br />officer or other employee of the issuer, (such
<br />authorization shall include contact both in
<br />writing regardless of the address entered in
<br />lines 3 and 4, and by telephone) by signing
<br />this form, the issuer's authorized
<br />representative consents to the disclosure of
<br />the issuer's return information, as necessary
<br />to process this return, to such person.
<br />Paid Preparer
<br />If an authorized representative of the issuer
<br />filled in its return, the paid preparer's space
<br />should remain blank. Anyone who prepares
<br />the return but does not charge the
<br />organization should not sign the return.
<br />Certain others who prepare the return should
<br />not sign. For example, a regular, full-time
<br />employee of the issuer, such as a clerk,
<br />secretary, etc., should not sign.
<br />Generally, anyone who is paid to prepare a
<br />return must sign it and fill in the other blanks
<br />in the Paid Preparer Use Only area of the
<br />return. A paid preparer cannot use a social
<br />security number in the Paid Preparer Use Only
<br />box. The paid preparer must use a preparer
<br />tax identification number (PTIN). If the paid
<br />preparer is self-employed, the preparer
<br />should enter his or her address in the box.

<br />preparer's signature, and
